      <b>mtlb_strrep</b> - Matlab strrep emulation function</p>

      <font color="blue">Description</font>
    </h3>
    <p>Matlab <tt>
        <b>strrep</b>
      </tt> and Scilab <tt>
        <b>strsubst</b>
      </tt> behave differently in some particular cases:</p>
    <dl>
      <dd>
        <b></b>
        <dd>
          <li>
            <b>
              <font color="maroon"></font>
            </b>
        With inputs which not character strings: Matlab <tt>
              <b>strrep</b>
            </tt> can be used
	with not character strings inputs but not Scilab <tt>
              <b>strsubst</b>
            </tt>.
        </li>
        </dd>
      </dd>
    </dl>
    <p>
    The function <tt>
        <b>mtlb_strrep(A,B,C)</b>
      </tt> is used by
    <tt>
        <b>mfile2sci</b>
      </tt> to replace <tt>
        <b>strrep(A,B,C)</b>
      </tt> when it was not
    possible to know what were the inputs while porting Matlab code to Scilab. This function will
    determine the correct semantic at run time. If you want to have a
    more efficient code it is possible to replace <tt>
        <b>mtlb_strrep</b>
      </tt> calls:
    </p>
    <dl>
      <dd>
        <b></b>
        <dd>
          <li>
            <b>
              <font color="maroon"></font>
            </b>
        If <tt>
              <b>A</b>
            </tt>, <tt>
              <b>B</b>
            </tt> and <tt>
              <b>C</b>
            </tt> are character strings
        <tt>
              <b>mtlb_strrep(A,B,C)</b>
            </tt> may be replaced by <tt>
              <b>strsubst(A,B,C)</b>
            </tt>
          </li>
        </dd>
      </dd>
    </dl>
    <p>Caution: <tt>
        <b>mtlb_strrep</b>
      </tt> has not to be used for hand coded functions.</p>
